Talavera vs Real Madrid Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | Copa del Rey 2025-26

This is going to be the first-ever official encounter between these clubs.

CF Talavera are now gearing up to take on Real Madrid for the round of 32 fixture of the 2025-26 Copa del Rey. This is going to be an entertaining outing between these clubs, which will take place at the Estadio Municipal El Prado.

The Primera Federación side are going to be at home and will be looking to use it to their advantage. They have lacked consistency in their last few matches. Even though CF Talavera will be at home, the upcoming Spanish cup contest game is not going to be an easy outing for them.

The Xabi Alonso-led Real Madrid are back on winning ways. They secured a 2-1 win against Deportivo Alaves in their LaLiga outing. Los Blancos lacked in some departments, but still emerged victorious in the end.

The upcoming Copa del Rey fixture will be a perfect opportunity for them to extend their winning run. They must not take their opponents lightly.

Players to Watch

Gonzalo di Renzo (Talavera)

In two Spanish cup matches this season, he has scored two goals and will be ready to lead his side in the attacking front yet again. Gonzalo di Renzo will be looking to step up his game so that he can help the hosts stand a chance against mighty Real Madrid. A top performance from him can be useful for CF Talavera.

Endrick (Real Madrid)

The Brazilian youngster is going to play an important role in the attacking front as Kylian Mbappe might be rested. He has only been on the field for 11 minutes this season, but the young player did put up some pleasing performances for Real Madrid during the last campaign. Endrick will lead the attack in the final third, making him a constant threat to the opponent’s defence.
